VC-52007 2016.06.10 Figure 7-3 shows the FPP Configuration timing for a Cyclone V when DCLK-to-DATA[] Ratio (r) is > 1. Question: Is it really a requirement that the data pins remain remain ab...

10 years agoHello Alex,
Correct - we are concerned about data glitches between rising edges of DCLK: Each rising edge of DCLK would sample idential DATA[] for each DCLK 1..r (with setup and hold times conforming to Figure 7-2), however, the falling edges would not necessarily sample identical DATA[]. Your suspicion that this should work agrees with ours - we were just hoping that this could be confirmed in a more 'official' way in order for us to finalise our H/W design (which currently uses this method as the primary configuration mechanism) with more confidence. Thanks, Bernhard
